"Unprincipled enough to do it but too stupid to do it" is a kind of pundit's quantum dilemma when trying to make sense of this administration.
The use of AI to identify targets (without subsequent specific human confirmation) should be considered a war crime.
And by that I don't mean "we should make a rule" I mean that straightforward application of the existing rules would tell you that it is a war crime.
I haven't said anything about this before, bc in the grand scheme of horrors this only rates as an inconvenience, but since others are experiencing it:
Just three days after CBP arrested me for filming them outside Broadview on 9/27, my TSA Pre & Global Entry were suspended—and so were my wife's.

As I watch footage of explosions in Beirut and dust clouds towering above apartment blocks in Tehran, I keep coming back to something that I witnessed back in the summer of '04, during my first tour in Iraq. But first, let's start with a question:
Have you ever heard someone wail?

Well, that's aged well.
We have always been at war with Eastasia.

He's on his third Nazi controversy at least, and some of you are saying that is not enough Nazi controversies to convince you there is a problem. Look inward!

the seemingly inexorable march of antisemitism into the very heart of US politics from both the left and right is pretty depressing
Fighting back works. Please take notes university leaders.
Trump returned to the WH and admired new statues installed in the Rose Garden, but won’t answer a reporter’s question about the three U.S. troops who died in combat.
Reporter: “What’s your message to the families of the service members who were killed?”
Trump: walks away.
Priorities noted.
Vile, murderous old man at head of fanatical, repressive regime ... kills vile, murderous old man at head of fanatical, repressive regime.

Between the revelations emerging from the Epstein files, and this, Donald Trump continues true to form in his proclivity for destroying young girls.

To paraphrase a favorite joke of mine:
"But I don't like fruit"
"Comrade, after the revolution, EVERYONE will like fruit!"
It's not a proper politburo speech until a GOP Senator collapses from clapping too long.
Tonight's speech is sure to have plenty to stoke fear and anger. Instead of watching it, why not read what I have to say about Bill Galston's recent book on those "dark emotions" (plus the lust for domination)? Now out at Commonweal.

My home state, folks!
This 53 year old man who lived in my neighborhood w/no criminal record & who had been in the US for 30 years, was detained and thrown into a cold cell for days, caught pneumonia and COVID there and deported.
He finally died.
I am so angry.

This is a reminder that ICE is still in Minnesota, that people still can’t leave their homes, and that funds are starting to run dry.
Please donate if you can. Places like food shelves are struggling to meet the community’s needs.
NEW: Major, BFD action by blue states standing up to ICE.
Maryland, on Tuesday, banned local law enforcement from being part of ICE's notorious 287(g) program.
That automatically forces *9* sheriffs out of their ICE contract!
And New Mexico did the same last week:
When Isaiah Berlin wrote “what is interesting is to read the enemy, because the enemy penetrates the defences,” he meant studying Maistre and Sorel, not that every racist blogger had to be debated in the Sheldonian.
A victory.
And….a reminder NOT to comply in advance.
My guess is that the goal here is not only to punish the children for turning more people against ICE/DHS, but also to make news outlets think twice about reporting on kids' suffering at the hands of ICE/DHS, out of concern that doing so might lead to retaliation against the kids.
This is a truly horrifying memo. It says that the policy of the US government will now be to proactively seek out and arrest likely tens of thousands of refugees who entered legally under Biden and subject them to detention, where they will be interrogated about their status.
In 1854, after watching the federal government deploy 2000 federal troops and spend $40,000 sending Anthony Burns back into slavery, Boston's Amos Adams Lawrence said “we went to bed one night old-fashioned, conservative, Compromise Union Whigs and waked up stark mad Abolitionists.”
Reminds me of Brooks' off-made comment that his career has been one long attempt "to be less shallow than maybe I naturally am."
Must try harder.
Trumpists do not believe that people who disagree with them are entitled to a voice in government.
